Mark Curnutte, of The Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals LB Caleb Miller (back) did not practice Thursday, Nov. 1, and is not expected to play Week 9. Miller will be an un-restricted free-agent after the season, and his back injury may be serious enough to keep him out for the rest of the season.

The Cincinnati Bengals have officially announced making a draft-status tender offer to restricted free agent LB Caleb Miller. Any team that signs Miller to an offer sheet in free agency would have to compensate the Bengals with a 2007 third-round draft pick, the equivalent to the round Miller was originally drafted in.
